These pictures aren’t my own, but they’re of the weird things I’ve seen lately.

Coal Skink

White Grackle

This one was hanging out with about 5,000 (I shit you not) grackles of the normal black variety, so it stuck out like a sore thumb. And having been around grackles all my life, I’d never seen a white one before. It’s an omen, I’m sure. Prepare for the apocalypse.

Can’t see the eyes, but the legs are pink (note, his friends have black legs). so this is probably an albino. Apparently albino grackles are not common as statistics go, but there are so many grackles (blackbirds for those who don’t know grackles) that they are reported on occasion. I’ve never seen one in >50 years of looking at birds.
